Today was a great day for me, simply because of my decision to leave my major pair and trade the BAT/BTC pair.

I'm pretty good at determining price direction and whatnot, but I've been holding off from trading BAT because I had only 200 tokens accumulated. That's about $42, and it's not much at all.

But I took the deep dive today,and traded my BAT against BTC.

And it was one of my best ideas this year.

The BAT/BTC pair, as I found out today, is extremely volatile, meaning that basically any amount you have to trade will get filled almost instantly from the order book.

This led to very swift trades(I made over 42 trades today!) and I multiplied my account value all the way up to.....wait for it....$82!

That was an amazing run for me, as I now have over $40 of basically free BAT tokens.

And this is after fees of course.

If you're a crypto trader, I'd suggest that you trade against BTC and not against USD. The USD pair did move 4%+ today,which is nice,but the BTC pair moved a solid 7%, and it's higher liquidity means that it hits support and resistance way faster than normal, and that means more money for you.

Anyway, that was my experience!
